    But just like how the black "suit" symbiant eventually overtook Eddie Brock to together become Venom...

    ... what if the purple "sweater" symbiant eventually overtakes Matías Almeyda? :eek:

    What if Q turned purple! We might go undefeated for eternity.

    Problem is, now that the purple "sweater" has bonded with Matías Almeyda, I doubt that it would choose another host (though Peter Parker was eventually able to separate himself from the black "suit" before it found Eddie Brock, so I suppose that it's possible). :eek:

    In any case, if Q suddenly turned purple, wouldn't he have to move to either Sacramento, Minnesota or Orlando? :(

    Who is to say that there aren't multiple purple sweaters, or that there's one that can take on multiple forms simultanesouly, and that each additional host is not a force multiplier.

    Multiple purple "sweaters" finding various hosts could eventually lead to:

    The team seriously needs a purple sweater night.

    First, everyone in the stands will wear their newly-acquired purple sweaters like this...

    Before they know it, their sweaters will then dress themselves onto their hosts as such...

    The sweaters will then fully consume their hosts until the stands are exclusively filled with...

    If they can do a $1 hotdog night, they can do a sweater night, and if we all turn into purple blobs -- better than falling asleep in the stands.

    Maybe when Almeyda walks over the bridge he could toss purple sweaters to the fans below? That would be a unique ritual at PayPal. Perhaps the LOBINA bartenders can develop a signature cocktail called "The Purple Sweater"? How about an Almeyda bobblehead in a purple sweater? Is there an Ultra song about the sweater yet? A giant TIFO?

    I got it! How about a giant purple TIFO in the shape of a sweater. The Ultras can roll it out everytime the Quakes score at home. TV viewers would be watching and thinking "what the hell is that for?"

    Purple sweater - value $30, value of beer, say $6, that means you need to drink 5 beers to break even!

    Unless of course you have a purple sweater in your arsenal already. Not sure I really have a "sweater" of any color, let alone purple.

    I remember when the Quakes came back, and there were debates - red or blue, I thought (very briefly), how about combining them and going with purple. In retrospect, before Orlando, it would have been unique, and purple has a lot of symbolic significance: royalty, nobility, power, unity (e.g. country over party - heh), and even LGBTQ support. We're now seeing all of that symbolic power focused intently on Matias's sweater.

    Maybe he is colorblind and thought it was blue!

    I knows it’s more, but depends on the kind of beer and the joke was better with 5 beers rather than 2 or 3.

    Could be Hugo. They're not selling anything like that now (or really, anything with a v-neck). Their models are a little scary, tbh

    I'm glad none of them play for us

    At least one looks like Nathan, so one may very well play for us.

    Hugo Boss was an ardent Nazi who made uniforms for the SA and SS and used slave labor from the camps. I will never buy anything with that label.

    I had no idea. We've gone into the store but for all I knew, Hugo Boss was a made up name, like Haagen Dazs, sounds manly and strong. And apparently the original HB was, but in all the wrong ways.

    I don’t know anything about Hugo Boss, but the Adidas brothers made boots and weaponry for the Nazis, and they were members of the Nazi party (apparently necessary to stay in business).
